Wallpaper swap

After a long break from ATC's, no thanks to Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs (just kidding) my first swap. Wallpaper.

And now for the "& Stuff" part of my blog. I threw caution to the wind and sent 2 shirts and a "Thank You" to Mike Rowe of "Dirty Jobs" (Discovery Channel). I also sent one of my Devil's Claw dream catchers. I just hope to the powers that be, that I don't get tagged as a stalker or a fanatic. I was just given an idea and ran with it. The symbol is the Greek letter Mu which is also the symbol for micro. Get it? Micro=Mike Rowe. HEY IT WAS ALL STEVE'S IDEA!!! It was my idea to put it inside the Superman diamond. The worst that could happen is he hates it. Oh well. I gave it a shot.

Simply Charming take 2

Simply Charming swap

At least 1 charm per card required......This is what I came up with. Oh by the way, if you plan on using a wood burning tool on leather...it works very well. BUT it stinks like...yuck.

Pink and Green Swap

Pink and Green swap 4 x 4 ATC Disco Tiki

& flowers

Weave swap

5 cards I did for a weave swap. I didn't realized I signed up for (funny I only remember asking about it) but completed 5 anyway. The circle weave (purple & green) one was a test in patience. I'm sure there was an easier way to do it. The Greetings from Arizona one was 2 different photos of theGrand Canyon that I wove together, Paint chips for the "stone" look. The "Apple" and "Art" is quilling paper.

Americana swap take 2

Americana Swap

I'm not real big on the "Counrty" look but I think they came out pretty well.

Hello Kitty swap

Hello kitty swap. I haven't made any Atcs lately due to the fact that I had a problem with an ex-family member. All ATCs are 3-D. The princess Hello Kitty has pearls on her dress and crown, well pearl color fabric paint. And the dots on her necklace and bow are kinda glass looking (fabric paint also)

Kitty-fly

One of a kind, yep only 1 made. I'll probably not make another one. The wings a pearlecent/iridescence. And the Jewel on her collar is glass. The wings are made out of Makin's air dry clay.

Retro

I did a series of 3 for this swap. I think I had too much fun with the Spirograph, it brought back alot of great memories from childhood. I had a hard time stopping! The spirograph ones vary a little. The series with the white peace sign on black has 6 different sayings, "Peace" "Groovy" "Groovy Man!" "Make Love Not War" "Far Out" and "Flower Power"

Last of mommy-isms

"Trust me I know what I'm talking about."

"When I was your age..."

More Mommy-isms

" Sit up straight"
"Mom"
""Can you be serious for 1 minute??"
(Obviously not by the looks of the card.) You can't see it but in the picture of my mom she is sticking out her tongue. The charms inside the card say "Fun", "Love", "Play", and there is a piece of tin that says MOM on it. That was a fun card to make and my first attempt to make a shaker card.

Mommy-isims

All cards were made with pictures of my mother.

"Do as I say, not as I do."

"You're not going out looking like THAT!"

"Would you like to see your next birthday??" I heard that alot in my teen years.

Last of Stick Man, at least for now

This is it until I make some more
Stick Man hikes Catalina Mountians (Tucson, AZ. He really should be carrying some water!) Stick Man visits the Biosphere (Oracle, AZ.). Stick Man visits Georgetown ,Colorado. ( I just LOVE Georgetown, it's soo pretty)
